The office air was stale and I went around adjusting the nearby vents. One can set the speed and temperature of the flow of out each vent and that got me thinking, how they would be able to do that? Personalization of air would cost a lot and be a resource burden too. The next thought was that we couldn't work without airconditioning in the tropics. Even LKY has credited the air-conditioner as the best thing ever. He likes it as 22 degrees it was reported I think. The next thought that hit me was that mankind should not live in the tropics. As residents of this fragile planet we should congregate about the temperate regions, neat the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn or higher. Life would be literally cooler and we'd had summers and winters to satisfy our instincts for repetitive annualised change. We could let the tropics simply blossom on their own. Wild and untouched. Let the trees grow back, let the animals run free and settle themselves Darwin style. We'd have a lovely band of green around the centre of the Earth, quite vogue and verdant, and more importantly, ecologically re-balancing our carbon footprint and processing our carbon dioxide into life-giving oxygen. We might pick a few pockets to have super beaches because we all will need a tan, and of course eco-tours to get bitten by snakes and spiders while we ooh and ahh at vegetation unfamiliar. Litterbugs would be fed to tigers, Darwin style. It could work eh.
We just need to get rid of this nasty concept called countries, and passports.
